What do we learn from "Berach Dodi..."

1.

Torah Temimah citing Shabbos 63a: If two Chachamim do not hearken to each other in Halachah, the Shechinah departs from Yisrael.

2.

Rashi: Flee from this Galus, and redeem us from among them.

3.

Seforno: All of Kehilas Yakov responds, you, Dodi, ha'Mashi'ach, since ha'Melech ha'Kadosh wants to increase Chachamim, come quickly, and 'graze' us with Da'as and understanding to be pleasing to Hashem.

4.

Malbim (Melitzah): The Ru'ach tells Hashem, flee to Your supreme abode, for Your cannot join with me constantly due to the colleagues close to me - the levels close to physicality.

2)

How should he resemble a deer or Ofer ha'Ayalim?

1.

Rashi: Speed the redemption and put Your Shechinah on Harei Vesamim.

2.

Malbim (Melitzah): It always returns to its place and looks back. So return to me from time to time.

3)

What are "Harei Vesamim"?

1.

Rashi: They are Har ha'Moriyah and the Beis ha'Mikdash, may it be rebuilt speedily on our days!

2.

Seforno: They are Har Tziyon, which was Beis Malchus for Beis David, and Har ha'Bayis, where the Great Sanhedrin sat.
